Jeff Brazier has revealed that he spent two nights sleeping in his camper van with his son Bobby, ahead of the birth of his first grandchild. Jeff’s son Freddie welcomed daughter Isla Jade Brazier this weekend with his girlfriend, Holly Swinburn.
Jeff opened up on the experience and said he and Bobby spent two nights in the camper van to be closer to the hospital. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Jeff wrote: “Bob and I stayed nearby in the camper for both nights while Holly and Fred were in hospital. I didn’t want Pamela to feel left out. We used near by a nearby gym for showers, food and long period of nervous, excited waiting time.”
Jeff beamed as he gave everyone a little look at the adorable new arrival. He uploaded a number of snaps, alongside a topless Freddy and his brother Bobby with Holly at the hospital.

The 46-year-old also posted an emotional message, writing: “Dear Isla Jade. You have no idea how deeply loved you are. There are so many good people standing behind you, and a very special angel watching over you. Mummy and Daddy gave you her name, and were going to tell you all about her.
“You already feel like the greatest gift. I will be forever grateful to Mummy and Daddy for filling my heart and bringing such joy into our lives. Thank you, Holly and Freddy, with all my heart. Holding you is pure peace. All my love, Grandad (Though you’re welcome to call me something a bit cooler when you’re older!)” Jeff also shared a snap of his camper van, which he has named Pamela.
Freddy named his daughter after his mother, Jade, a tribute after losing her when he was just four years old. Jade Goody died from cervical cancer on Mother’s Day in 2009.
Jeff and Freddy recently reunited after a bust-up involving Jackiey Budden, Jade’s mum. Freddy had reportedly been living with his maternal grandmother earlier this year, despite Jeff taking legal action to block their contact. Freddy claimed the 68-year-old got him ‘hooked on drugs’ at the age of 12, something she denies.
Freddie’s girlfriend Holly, 22, discovered she was pregnant in August last year, but by November the pair had split. They reunited at her baby shower and are thought to have recently put their problems to one side.
Freddy first got together with Holly in June 2025 after they connected on TikTok. Two months later, Holly discovered she was pregnant, but there were complications from the start as Freddy’s grandmother, Jackiey pushed for a paternity test, which confirmed he was the father.
